Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this poetic verb (in NT only 1 Thessalonians 2:7, Ephesians 5:29) cf. the vi/A.D. marriage-contract, CPR I. 30.20, where a husband undertakes ἀγαπᾶν καὶ θάλπειν καὶ θεραπεύειν his wife, and for a similar metaphorical usage see OGIS 194.5 (B.C. 42) τὴν πόλιν ἔθαλψε. The verb occurs several times in the Mimes of Herodas : cf. also Bacchylides Fragm. 16.2 (ed. Jebb, p. 417) θάλπῃσι θυμόν, and the Christian epigram Kaibel 725.3—

θάλπεο ψυχὴν

ὕδασιν ἀενάοις πλουτοδότου σοφίης.
